Having threaded thru life in a bumbling manner, perhaps this attempt at documenting faults and failures will help me have a fresher outlook of life.

Trailing the Time

PCC organized a Time Trial this recent weekend. You can check out the details here.

Yours truly actually went there to volunteer service and have a casual ride with a friend. Being lethargic and just recovering from a bout of Flu, i didn't expect to ride. Upon arrival and seeing all the excitement, managed to get my friend and myself registered in the last two available places.

With very little warm up, we went through the course in a leisurely time not really intending to compete. Interestingly, my friend managed a neat time , having come in 3rd in her category and me 8th in my age group finishing the 15km course in a slow 33 minutes. Hope to publish some pictures of the event though.

Addendum

Here are some photos of the event uploaded to Flickr courtesy of Adrian and the PCC Team. Thanks Adrian ;-)

neat? hahaha... with all the setbacks before the race, im seriously doubting myself at the starting line. i nearly gave up twice cos my lungs feels like bursting halfway through. i was breathing too hard & my legs are aching. my last rpm class was 2 weeks back.

if i knew...1. i would have slept earlier the nite before2. i would have have eaten breakfast3. i would have brought water along for the race4. i would have visited some bushes nearby to ***5. i would have at least trained

but what if i did all these beforehand? will i do better or faster? or will it remain the same?

truth is, i dont know. all i know is im truly grateful that you somehow convinced me to sign up last minute & for someone else to talk sense into me to bring along my bike to the race venue. im happy to be mentally strong that mornin & not giving up till i cross the finish line. for this, i have to say a BIG "Thank You" to you.

If u had slept the nite before, u will be lethargic.If u had eaten breakfast, u will be 1 kilo overweight and will be slower,If u had brought water along, u wud have weighted the bike heavier, and ur time will be more,visited some bush to discharge some water, u might run the risk of being bitten and u wudnt be able to start the race,If u had trained, u will be too tired to start. Nah..why bother.
